Don’t get scammed into sharing sensitive information like your social security number or paying for free services on third-party websites! When applying for your passport, ensure you are on an official .gov site (not sites ending in .com, .org, or .us). If you're renewing your passport online, submit your application at mytravel.state.gov. The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs (that’s us!) is the only provider of U.S. passports. If you go through a third-party, they just serve as a middleman and will charge you more to pass us your application. Protect your privacy and avoid upcharges by going directly to travel.state.gov/passport. If you qualify, you can find information on how to renew online at travel.state.gov/renewonline

Do you know when your passport expires? Even if it’s valid now, you might not be able to travel if it expires within the next six months. If you have an international trip coming up, always check the entry requirements for your destination at travel.state.gov/destination to avoid being denied boarding or turned back around at customs.

A gentle reminder that as a smart traveler it is your responsibility to do some research on the country you are visiting.

Travel tip of the day: You are subject to the local laws of the country you are visiting. If you violate that country’s laws, you could be arrested and prosecuted, even if your actions would not have been against the law in the United States. Research local laws before you go at travel.state.gov/destination.
